Eddie Mathews dreams of being a successful horror filmmaker but currently struggles to pay the bills as a telemarketer, who schleps presidential bobble heads. His wife, Anna, is about to deliver their second child and with little money in the bank Eddie has no alternative but to move in with his disapproving mother-in-law and her son, a washed-up minor league hockey player. Despite the circumstances, Eddie is unwilling to give up on his dream and hustle to complete the filming of his dark comedy about a vigilante who kills Karens. Driving him to succeed is his best friend, Joe, and his imaginary companion, The Menacer, who takes the form of a comedically villainous presence clad in a dark cloak and mask. Eddie scrambles to do whatever is necessary to bring Killing Karens to life -- including selling his vintage Dracula poster collection, the family’s van, and enlisting some unlikely actors, including his wife’s gynecologist, to fill out his cast. Killing Karens has the potential to be his breakthrough show, and Eddie gets word that a big Hollywood streamer may be interested. But the clock is ticking and as Eddie's financial and familiar responsibilities continue to grow his dream hangs in balance.
